I manage to have no regrets by buying instruments that are better than me. I don’t want to buy anything else, or sell them for something “better” as if would be pointless

Swap for a kingdom ?

Either is good … tort is always awesome

Or put some nice tort on

I feel she should become an associate BC member just to soak up the adoration

B and m sell it cheaply

I have the b2.1u - it’s better than I am

Make-up brush ? Glam rock equipment… or is there something you’re not telling us …

Fixed

UNLESS you leave it there long enough and then it becomes vintage dust and thus acquires ✨ magical tone-improving qualities ✨✨

Hoover with brushy attachment

I advocate spar wood also - but the tone is better if it’s scatter-nailed 🍿 in zombie movie style - leave some sticking out slightly to increase resonance - just a thin galvanic coating though, so the metal within can breathe

Yes but when that cardboard was growing as a tree, if it was nearer a rosewood tree than a maple tree would make a difference to the sound produced 🍿 …. During its second life as a shim, doing more good than it was when feebly protecting cancer inducing death sticks

He’s absolutely my bass icon

These kits are direct from China though so they would be cheap

String and bridge alignment is easy take another bass and measure the E and G string lengths, set the saddles to roughly same place on the base plate of the bridge position the bridge so each outer saddle sits the same distance from The nut as on the other bass. Put masking tape in front and behind the bridge (on the body) in case you move the bridge Attach old strings to tuners (or tuner holes) and thread over the saddles and use the strings to get alignment correct over pole pieces - mark the screw holes through the bridge onto the body once you’re happy Rough and ready, but it works

Is there “country swing” too? You have both kinds ? :blues brothers

Call them and discuss

Yes but he was a paid, hired hand, joining a band where a well-known musician had previously used live, and recorded with, one particular instrument - the situation is a little different

Is it like country ?

It’s not really a band, more a jam, I think and kids and a wreck house have prevented me playing with anyone or even at all to speak of, for nearly four years . I don’t care if it’s simple stuff I can always add walking or beat 2 /4 occasionally
